Powderly's Anupathy to looacco


General Master Workman Powderly
is not at all the ideal man of power.
He ID bundle OF nerves, and they
stick out all over him. lie is impui-
sive, and II doesn' take much to make
HIM fly int a passion. He wouldn't
kill q fly willingly, yet sometimes IN
fits OF evaporation he dances about,
and talks like the blood -thirstiest of
men. And 1t amuscs his associates to
hear him, for they know he is as timid
as woman about firearms, and
wouldn't fire a pistol il he had
one. SO one day when something had
gone wrong he jumped up and skipped
about the room, shouting: II wish |
had Il pistol. l would shoot the son
OF gun" To which the stolid Bailey
replied: "You wouldn't know
whether pistol was loaded from the
handle or the muzzle, Terry" "Well
I'd like to blow him up all the same"
Terry replied: THAT you are per
fectly capable of doing" said Bailey,
with your tongue" Half an hour
later Terry hat blown his man up, and
the Knight didn't seem to know Ii, for
he was smiling and chirping with
Powderly as pleasantly as a clerk to
pretty customer.
Powderly despiscs whiskey from
principle, but he abhors tobacco from
reasons. When the Elk
ecutive Committee meets to talk with
him the members are very careful to
take their guilds from their mouths.
The Master Workman's nostrils are as
cute as a tobacco hating wiie's. Hayes
uses no tobacco; but Bailey and Tur.
ner quit smoking when they saw how
distasteiul it was to Powderley. Barry,
however. who has good deal of OBJ.
stlnacy in his nature, simply compro.
missed by leaving his cigar behind him
when he met with Pewderly. One
day, however, he took an unlighted
cigar into the room. Powderly was
nervous that day, and,
though up to his ears in exciting bust
ness, began pretty soon to snuff and
irown and betray annoyance. AHA,
it Is you" he shrieked at last, getting
up and dancing about the room. But
| amt smoking it, Terry" said Barry.
uOn I lhlt, just sts SOOu Set u
man with q junk of birthstone in Lis
mouth as one of those internal things"
Barry laughed ard put the cigar away,
out of the room.
Hayes hates tobacco as badly.
He owes his prominence in the body |
to his grit. Some years ago he fell off |
8 car, ON which he was serving as
near Railway. The ear
passed over his right arm. Hayes
picked up the arm with his left and |
coolly walked to the Railway station,
where he tainted from loss of blood.
When he came to there were lot of |
people standing about him proposing
all things, doing nothing, and Hayes
said it made him mad. SO he shouted:
why, in something or other, don't
you tie cord about the stump Don't
you see Pm bleeding to death2" They
took him TO his home in New Bruins
wick; he lay down and held out the
stump for the surgeons knife, and five
days after got up and went to barber
10 get shaved. In month he was
busy learning biography with his left
hand. He also learned to write clear,
distinct hand with his left. THAT
was grit" said Bailey, one day, while
telling the story in Hayes presence.
Nonsense; 1t was nothing but COM
mon sense. What would, you have
me dor Lie down and die?" Hayes

St. Paul, Minn., had remarkable hail storm few days ago, and correspondent says, to illustrate more forcibly the size ot the stones and the competition to secure the mammoth, the feat of wag, who ir the height of the shower rushed to his ice chest and hacked out two-pound chunk from cake therein, hastily clipping of the sharp corners with hatchet, which he pitched from chamber window into the yard of an excited neighbor, is apropos. As the huge specimen fell upon the turf, the doctor wildly rushed out from his pi. azza and at the imminent risk of perfora. ton of his bald caput captured the mons. ster, and hurrying to his study made 8 plaster cast of his prize, not for moment doubting it's genuineness.

On Tuesday himself and Col. Lamont claim to have caught 200 trout in six hours, but as they only claim that the largest weighed half pound we are. calling it fish story. Given the same ad- vantages we have several Tolland>county fish ermen who could tell a bigger story.
